That was good, but let's be fair now, how often do people drive 80
miles per hour? I mean, what if it's raining? : )

Then we drive 95 mph...


Here's a similar problem for everyone who thinks they are lots smarter
than the women in the story.

Ain't hard. His release of that film was suicide, so he's not much,
if any, smarter. Sheesh!


Assume one person can paint a room in 1 hour, and a second (slower)
person can paint a similar room in 2 hours. How long will it take them
to paint such a room together.

They each paint one half of the room in one hour, with the faster of
the two on coffee break for half an hour while overseeing the other.
wink


it's an algebra problem. Don't get distracted..lol.

Iggy over on Wreck.Metalheads would have that one down. He runs
algebra.com.

P.S: The fast guy uses a paint stick. No algebra needed! I just love
those things. http://tinyurl.com/6tzonjj
